Critique, appraisal (6)
I believe the answer is:
review
This clue is a double definition.
'critique' is the first definition.
(I know that critique can be written as review)
'appraisal' is the second definition.
(I know that review is a type of appraisal)
(Other definitions for review that I've seen before include "Critical appraisal" , "A commentary by a critic" , "A critique or commentary on play or film" , "study" , "New appraisal or evaluation" .)
